The standard car does not have hundreds of gallons of fuel in it which creates fumes strong enough to be detectable by passengers. Or at a distance outside the car, as the article points out.

Explode? You know gas doesn't just explode right? Why are all the comments in this thread about big fireballs of death...the standard gas tank of this car provides more than enough fuel for a massive explosion if vaporized. I'd also wager that the two fuel cells in the trunk are way more safe than any stock fuel…

what, exactly, would make anyone think that Beckham has any type of acumen whatsoever to be anything but a face on this thing?

Now I understand all the gambling losses.

Peter Jackson really did an amazing job with recreating The Battle at Helm's Deep.

I'm sorry Christian. Not even Wendy Peffercorn is capable of resuscitating your season.

All jokes aside (those made and those yet to be made): what, exactly, would make anyone think that Beckham has any type of acumen whatsoever to be anything but a face on this thing?

"One small point is that the preparation they went through was intense and made them (in some way) more responsible than your average street racer."

I'm not sure if I would consider someone loaded up with 400 pounds of gasoline in their trunk and driving 100+ mph less dangerous to those around him than two people street racing.

I'm hoping, with all the admissions, photos of how fast they drove, that some law enforcement agency somewhere will see this as evidence & proof of a crime, and NAILS their butts for this. One thing to drive fast, another thing to do this, brag about it and post it all over the internet.

What a jerkoff, and what a waste of time. For a fraction of the money this guy spent, he could have gone racing in NASA or the SCCA. Then he'd be a racer, instead of a douchebag trying to calculate his way to fame.

Driving at top speed across the country with no sleep and 400 pounds of gasoline. Nah, that sounds safe to all the other drivers.

Outstanding.

Where is a good Triad hit when you need it...

Since the Cardinals are so old school you'd think they would fear delta.

Every baby that has ever teethed is in a Jerry Tarkanian costume:

This should all the proof we need to separate the words "regulation" and "socialism" in our political discussions. The two things are VERY different, obviously. ::barfs into lap:: ::Chinese turn barf in cooking oil::
